Cats, cats, cats!! The smallest maneki neko on display is close to the largest, highlighting both the diversity of cats and the creativity of their makers. This exhibition was made possible by a generous loan from Mingei International Museum. "Maneki Neko: Japanese Beckoning Cat" is on display post-security, in Terminal 2. http://bit.ly/BeckoningCats
